Raked Joints or Ironed Joints

Well, yesterday SS called me that the bricks labourer has noticed that the bricks are not even shapes, hence with ironed joints that we chose, it won't be good. Oh, no....so SS has decided to make 2 sample batches of Raked Joint (that he thinks is the best) and Ironed Joints.

I saw that Raked Joints give a better aesthetique finish to the bricks. So I have have decided to go with Raked joints...

Unfortunately, the brickies are still finishing jobs somewhere else...so SS said tomorrow they will start.

Fingers crossed, praying hard....
